Parts & Labor Really Phoning It In on Receivers Tour

So lazy, in fact, you'll have to do the phoning for them

Heard any good jokes lately? Been working on a particularly bloodcurdling scream in advance of election dayHalloween? Heck, are you at all capable of making a noise into a phone? Well, Parts & Labor could use your help.

For their fall tour-- which kicked off a little earlier this week with a release party for their new Receivers LP-- the noiseniks are asking fans to ring 'em up at (888) 317-5596, wait for the beep, and do their thing into the... receiver. Hey! I get it now!

Once you've bleated, screeched, sworn, whispered, or whatevered your message to the band, they'll take what comes in and incorporate what they can into their stage shows. If the approach seems awfully similar to the user-generated bits the band gathered for the interludes on Receivers, well, that's kind of the idea. The band did manage to use every single submission for the Receivers release, so if you really want folks in the club to hear your kazoo skills or something, best get to dialing.

Receivers is out now in the U.S. and due November 3 in the UK from Jagjaguwar, while Parts & Labor are due in Cleveland Heights tonight.
